I'm sorry to do this but every so often I see a person that assumes that the 
newsreader he's using will passed the lines correctly. In this case, I only 
received the data to the 'p' in 'heap'. Since I have the source to this reader,
I know that the programmer placed an arbitrary limit of 137 or so characters.
But I also know (from my own work) that the NNTP server can only process
512byte lines. Could you please press <enter> while typing? 

Gee, maybe my newsreader is the only one that doesn't work correctly. :)
